Tamati Andre Williams (born 19 January 1984) is a New Zealand footballer and fashion model. He plays as a goalkeeper for RKC Waalwijk in the Eerste divisie, and has represented New Zealand at the international level.
After unsuccessful trials with Blackburn Rovers and in England at the age of 18, Williams began his club career with Football Kingz FC in their final season in the now-defunct National Soccer League. After a period with ASB Premiership side Waikato FC, Williams played one season for Auckland City in 2007 before temporarily retiring from football to work as a fashion model.
Williams represented New Zealand at the under-17, under-20, and under-23 Olympic levels. He made his debut as a full international against South Africa, when he replaced his colleague Glen Moss as a second-half substitute.
As a fashion model, Williams has represented brands such as Calvin Klein and Esprit, and has worked in the United States, France, Italy, and Australia. In 2007, he was featured on an episode of America's Next Top Model, appearing in a beach photo with Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez. He is represented by the agencies Red11 in Auckland, and Chic Management in Sydney.
Williams was born in Dunedin, and lived for a period in his childhood in Whangarei. His father played rugby union for Otago. As of 2014, Williams was studying for a postgraduate diploma in zoology and conservation biology.
